492977 ÷ 48 
Our goal is to divide 492977 by 48.

Step 1:
48 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 48

On to step 2:
48 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 49, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
12 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 48

On to step 4:
129 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 102.0
Subtract 96 from 129 to get 33.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 337 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 can be fit into 337 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1027.0
Subtract 336 from 337 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 48

On to step 6:
48 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10270.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
170 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10270.3
Subtracting 144 from 170 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
48 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10270.35
If we take 240 away from 260, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
200 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10270.354
Deduct 192 from 200 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10270.3541
Subtract 48 from 80 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10270.35416
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10270.354166
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10270.354166 with a remaining 3.2e-06.
